8 Considerations for Modernising the Electrical Systems in Commercial Properties
The important factors that need to be considered while upgrading the commercial electrical systems are highlighted below:
Voltage Requirements
It is imperative to assess the voltage class requirement of the commercial building to ensure safety. Based on the size of the building, it might require energy supplied by a substation which is expensive. Thus, for a big commercial building, an efficient energy system needs to be in place to manage the high electrical needs and costs.
Health and Safety Requirements
It is important to ensure the safety of staff, employees, and clients working in a commercial building. There is a need for safety systems to combat fire and smoke like sprinklers and alarms, proper lighting for safe work, appliances that are PAT-tested, lightning protection, backup emergency lighting system, and maintaining elementary electrical safety like cabling or plug sockets.
Surveillance
To secure the commercial building perimeter, you must invest in premium security systems to protect confidential information, valuable properties and assets, merchandise, etc. These involve the installation of CCTV, electronic access systems, burglar alarms, etc.
Logistics
The next criterion is logistics or simply put, how employees and staff can take full advantage of the property and maintain communication with each other. Thus, the electrical design must involve effective data and communication systems like WiFi, teleconferencing provisions, telephone systems, proper cabling, audio-visual systems, escalators, elevators, etc.
Minimisation of Heating Loads
You must assess the electrical load, weight, and total costs of the heating equipment and units. Implementation of modern control sequences like Building Automation Systems or resizing zone hot water coils play a pivotal role in decreasing the water temperature and heating loads in the building.
Ambience
You should consider whether you plan on installing an HVAC system, solar panels, etc.Furthermore, in a bid to enhance the building’s ambience and employee comfort, you can turn to fancy lamps, coffee machines, mounted HD TVs, and more.
Seismic Provisions and Grounding
Special electrical equipment bracing is required in essential buildings like healthcare facilities. Furthermore, independent-source grounding measures are extremely crucial for electrical systems. In addition to this, there is a need for harmonic equipment rating to prevent overheating of equipment.
Mandatory Regulations
To upgrade the existing electrical design in the commercial building, one must abide by all the necessary regulations pertaining to energy consumption, wiring, environmental impact, and more. When you hire a professional electrical service, you get assistance and guidance in all the required areas.

It is wise to hire a qualified electrician due to the following reasons:

Metering for your business
Before you start using electricity on your business premises, it needs to be metered in order to monitor usage and record consumption. Metering equipment can be purchased from the relevant supply authority like Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy and is installed at standard locations. The meter box on the side of your house or the main switch room in a high density residential or commercial premises are common locations for this sort of device.
Caslec Level 2 services provides metering services for a vast number of situations including switchboard upgrades, three phase upgrades, new installations, temporary builder’s services and supply separation.
Our services also include multi-residential properties and high-density retail developments across Sydney.
With many years of experience, Caslec level 2 service provider has secured and completed metering contract projects for many businesses in Sydney.
Commercial and industrial properties have a way bigger demand for electricity than your average domestic installation. As a result, large industrial switchboards are utilised and in turn, alternate methods. Caslec is proficient in providing metering services for facilities up to 400A for permanent and temporary supplies.

Electricity for your business. What’s the cost?
We all know that with consistent growth of inflation it’s becoming predictable that the electricity prices will eventually go up too.
If we look at the trend for the last decade in New South Wales, the increments aren’t slight either.
Price rises in electricity are inevitably met with dissatisfaction, especially in the domestic market where home budgets are smaller and the impact is applied more directly.
However, for commercial and industrial businesses it generally has a ‘knock-on effect’, usually by increasing prices for trade partners or consumers which in turn cycles back to increase inflation again. Otherwise, it becomes a loss in revenue for the company which may result in loss of jobs.
In this case, the argument for investment in energy efficiency is clearly stronger than ever:
· We live in times of constant climate changes and environmental sensitivity.
· There are the financial and potential productivity gains made from running a more efficient electrical system, which will invariably differ from company to company.
· With the big potential ROI of between 3 months to 12 months, such an investment has the ability to pay dividends fast.
· Investing in power optimisation will directly strengthen your local and national economy.
